preparing for family

Not the little baby kind, but the big scary parents and siblings and aunts and uncles and grandparents and inlaws kind. So to help relax, I am cleaning. I am cleaning the entire house, begining with the dresser and closets and laundry. Sorting out things that I will never wear, and things that I dont get to wear for a few monthes, and seasonal things that need put away.

The doctor appointment yesterday went really well. Dr Anstine was excited that I still want her to deliver for me, she is due in September and will be back just a week or two before I'm due. I will just have to see a few other doctors while she is gone.

We had my ultrasound first, and got to see baby move around. Just a little wiggle worm now, but in a few weeks baby will LOOK like a tiny baby. Baby's heartbeat is strong and fast, 176bpm, Jason thought that was the coolest thing ever. He's gotten more comfortable asking questions and talking to my doctor so that is nice.

Dr Anstine was excited about our trip to Guatemala, she didnt ask me to explain myself, or try to talk me out of going. So the static I got, was just coming from Merideth, my nurse. It was a nice bit of reasurance that this trip is the right thing to do. (My immunizations are tomorrow.)

The exciting news is that my next appointment after Guatemala, we will find out the sex of the baby. I dont have an appointment yet, but it should be the first or second week of July.

Alright, back to cleaning my house. Its been closed up for too long and needs a good airing out and cleaning. And I need to feel productive.
